According to Time Out, the memorial will boast a high-profile lineup of individuals mourning Corenlius' death:

Speakers at the service are expected to include the Rev. Jesse Jackson, soul singer and Cook County Commissioner Jerry The Iceman Butler, Radio Hall of Famer Herb Kent, radio executives Marv Dyson and Melody Spann Cooper, producer Don Jackson, and colleagues Richard Steele and Jeanne Sparrow, among others.

In other local remembrances, the Chicago Reader has launched a "Soul Week" on their blog in Cornelius's memory. Tal Rosenberg kicked off the series Monday with a video of a James Brown appearance on the show dating back to 1974 and featuring the songs "Cold Sweat" and "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag," which Rosenberg called the show's greatest performance in its history.

And finally, in perhaps the most powerful tribute to Cornelius yet, a "Soul Train" flash mob, outfitted in afro wigs and bell bottoms, descended on Times Square Saturday.

Chicago also paid host to its own dancing-in-the-streets tribute to Cornelius and the "love, peace and soul" he helped spread around the world in the city's Wicker Park neighborhood last Thursday, embedded below.
